As The Drag Queens of London April 22nd premiere date nears, it's time to learn more about the shining stars of the show: the queens themselves! Get into the know and meet the cast of The Drag Queens of London!

Lady Lloyd﻿

Lady Lloyd's famously loud personality and brush with fame has earned her celebrity status as a loveable loose cannon within the drag world.

Lady Lloyd (27 years old) rocketed ahead in the world of drag when Vivienne Westwood chose her as a catwalk model.

Lloyd is friends with icon and king of controversy Boy George, and she just finished touring with Ke$ha, ending with shows at Shepherds Bush Empire, Earls Court Arena and Capital FM's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium in front of 100,000 people.

Lloyd’s initial path into drag started as a night club door hostess. Lloyd is loved by The Sugbabes and named her own drag troupe ‘The Buffalo Girls’ after the girl band’s original name.

Lloyd suffered a violent homophobic attack in his hometown of Stansted which is explored in the programme. She is now living in Soho where she can be her happy-go-lucky self

Munroe Bergdorf

Transitioning transsexual and aspiring businesswoman, Munroe is the ‘It girl’ of the drag scene. Her high-end lifestyle and big dreams ensure she’s always in the spotlight.

Munroe (27 years old) has come a long way since being a drag queen on the Soho scene. Her stunning, feminine model-looks often leave people shocked to discover she’s actually a transitioning transsexual, which we explore in the series.

She’s a high-end model and one day she aims to launch her own lingerie brand and has launched her own make line with Illamasqua. She’s training to become a make-up artist.

To perfect her already feminine looks she’s currently finding new ways to raise £15k to spend on facial surgery.

Moving away from the drag scene this princess mingles with the high society of Soho.

Meth

Having studied at the prestigious Central School of Speech and Drama, Meth has a professional, alternative show and a sharp wit that has given her a strong cult following.

Known for her controversial stage show, which includes helpings of blood and nudity, this drag queen really lets it all hang out.

Meth (25 years old) is the doyenne of Meth Lab, a night known for bringing the glamorous stars of Ru Paul’s Drag Race to London. DWV, Latrice Royale, Michelle Visage: Meth rubs shoulders with the American drag A-list.

The driving force behind Familyyy Fierce, Meth may not live with the other queens but is the pinnacle personality of the group.

Meth has honed her craft from performing in dingy venues to coming 2nd in Tranny Academy 2013. Meth is now stepping it up another level to bring a string of new club nights to the capital. The arrival of DWV to Meth Lab features in the series.

Silver Summers

Single, fun-loving and seeking fame, Silver Summers is showing no signs of slowing down at 33 and balancing partying hard.

Parallel to the hit 80s film ‘Tootsie’, for 15 years Bobby Houston (Silver Summers) unsuccessfully tried to find fame as a man in pop groups and rock bands, but discovered true success after 18 months performing as a woman.

At 33 years old and having only been on the scene for 18 months, Bobby faces the challenges of establishing a unique act, and trying to keep up with the younger queens on the party scene.

She’s a member of the notoriously wild ‘Buffalo Girls’ drag troupe with Lady Lloyd and Baga Chipz. They cause havoc wherever they go, much to Silver’s distress when she’s sober.

Out of drag, Silver lives a low-key life with his best friend and the best friend’s parents. In the series Bobby returns to Glasgow to perform in front of his family in drag for the first time.

Baga Chipz

Baga Chipz believes personality is everything, and idolizes strong working-class women featured in the 60s and 70s ‘golden age’ of Coronation Street. She bases her drag act upon this inspiration.

Outrageous Baga Chipz (23 years old) is a salt of the earth Northern drag queen that is a mixture of all things kitsch and Coronation Street.

Before starting to do drag, Leo Lauren (Baga) was raised on a rough council estate in Birmingham. Leo's admirable inner confidence was made possible by his close-knit family who encouraged him to beat the prejudice, get off benefits and relocate to London where his true colors have been celebrated.

Baga is a member of the notoriously wild ‘Buffalo Girls’ drag troupe with Lady Lloyd and Silver Summers.

Flirty by nature, Baga has no shortage of male interest and has a reputation of hooking up with a different boy every night

The Very Miss Dusty ‘O'

With over three decades of experience on the drag scene, Dusty (47 years old) is the highly respected voice of reason, and idol to most young queens.

Dusty is the well-respected Host and Co-Promoter of Trannyshack and one of the biggest drag competitions of the year; Trannyshack Academy.

The self-proclaimed ‘mother hen’ of a number of younger drag queens, Dusty O’ is well known and liked in venues across the whole drag scene.

She’s invited to the prestigious London College of Fashion as a muse to students, who make her outfits as part of their course.

Out of drag, David Hodge (Dusty) has finally found love with a Japanese man many years younger than himself but faces an anxious wait to find out if his boyfriend can get a visa to return back to the UK.

Vanity von Glow

After 5 years of success performing, Vanity is a frustrated queen looking to reignite the excitement she once felt for her act.

A heartbreaker in and out of drag, Vanity von Glow (24 years old) always commands attention.

She reached the top of her game after 5 years by winning the acclaimed Trannyshack Academy 2013.

Out of drag, Thom Glow (Vanity) is now looking to reinvent his act as a boy around LGBT venues, as well as continuing to perform as Vanity on the side.

Rosie Beaver

Rugby player by day and flamboyant drag queen by night, Rosie (29 years old) breaks all stereotypes by living an unlikely juxtaposition.

Always looking for love online - he meets them as Chris and finds it hard to tell boys he likes that he’s a drag queen by night. He has a straight twin brother who is always on hand to provide an opinion.

He plays rugby in a gay team ‘Kings Cross Steelers’ and is the only sibling to play sports.

He is one of two producers for the cult West End show ‘Cool Rider’ and sees theatre as his long-term ambition.

In the series he becomes a mentor to his best friend and fellow rugby player Nick who decides to explore performing in drag himself.

Vicki Vivacious

A Supreme Fabulette whose theatre aspirations led her to be a part of the top drag troupe: with ideas of a one women show and TV stardom she's got a fame hungry attitude.

After dealing with a death in the family, a relationship breakup, and epilepsy, Vicki (27 years old) took a 6 month break from drag to rejuvenate and reinvent her act based on Paris Hilton, an idol of Vicky’s.

Out of drag, Aaron Johns (Vicki) came from Cornwall with dreams of starring on the West End stage, but his epilepsy required a flexible job where he was his own boss, hence the move to drag.

He starred in Priscilla Queen of the Desert in London’s prestigious West End. He’s a member of the acclaimed Drag troupe Supreme Fabulettes, directed by Kylie’s Creative Director William Baker.

The Drag Queens of London will premiere on Tuesday, April 22nd on London Live.

For viewers outside the UK, episodes will be posted online, so you can catch up on all the drama and British drag realness!

This is like the best thing to come from Earth. This basically like having
Drag Race without the competition. We get more backstory and more conversations and more drama. I'm in love with each of them. I cannot wait!

Ahhhhh Tina Bortion, the ropey drag queen with just one look. Learn to apply some nice make up instead of that awful ghost white extreme amateur style. You could learn a lot from Lloyd if you look closely and think about what she does!

I don't know why someone is trying to impersonate me. For anyone who knows me will know how much admiration I have for doing drag as I know how hard it is. I have had no or very little communication with the people associated in the upcoming programme but wish it the success it deserves. Any future comments will be ignored-water off a ducks back.

Actually, I changed my mind. Lloyd will never be as famous as she wants to be. Maybe if she was a bit kinder and likeable, but that ain't gunna happen, is it.

What a jealous biatch, when Lady Lloyd was turning her back and chatting during Vanity's performance, and then stormed the stage to steal her bow, that was the lowest.

Some have called her a superstar. A star doesn't act that way, and anyone who does, is undeserving of respect or admiration.

We love this show, baga and lloyd are the best. We HATE silver, 33? Add 10! And how boring. Just relax. And youve been doing it for one year- you are not the boss. And please stop wearing those stupid baseball caps like some 80s rent boy, you look ridiculous. And stop bitching baga, he is fun and great
